Linear axis
01 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Festo Pty Ltd
The EGC electric linear axis offers efficiency, maximum dynamic response and improved rigidity. The EGC electric linear axis is now available as a toothed belt drive or spindle drive. These new axes are easily integrated into the Festo multi-axis modular system and are also suitable for both stepper and servo motors.
Scalable mobile control system
01 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Daanet Pty Ltd
The Scalable Mobile Control System from Hirschmann Automation and Control can be used for controlling and monitoring machine functions as well as for safe load indicator. The product family includes controls from the iFLEX series and the iSCOUT operating consoles. The modular concept also ensures that each solution can be adapted economically at any time to changed requirements.
Compact ultrasonic sensor
01 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Turck Australia Pty Ltd
Turck has introduced an ultrasonic sensor in a compact Q12 style housing that achieves a 40 cm sensing range with a small 2.5 cm blind zone. The small profile of the sensor allows it to be mounted in narrow spaces, like those found in packaging applications.
Encoders
01 April, 2009 | Supplied by: SICK Pty Ltd
The AFM60 absolute multiturn encoder from Sick Stegmann has improved ruggedness and 30-bit resolution. Its smaller brother, the AFS60 absolute single-turn encoder, provides a resolution of 18 bits.
Parallel actuator controller
01 April, 2009 | Supplied by: LINAK Australia Pty Ltd
The TR-EM-239 parallel controller is designed to drive two actuators in parallel. It is suitable for 12-24 VDC motors each with a maximum of 10 A capacity and in applications where parallel movement is required — for example, across a bench, hatch, door, slide, transfer, directional guide or conveyor line.
Rotary encoders
01 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Schneider Electric
The Osisense rotary encoders are now open to fieldbus communication including a version fully compatible with CANopen and Profibus-DP networks.
Micro PLCs
01 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Omron Electronics Pty Ltd
Omron Electronics has increased their offering of micro PLCs by adding both 10 and 60 I/O CPUs to the CP1L range. Also, all six CPU types are now available with AC power source and transistor (NPN) output, offering additional flexibility to customers.
Distance sensor
01 April, 2009 | Supplied by: SICK Pty Ltd
The DT50 series measuring and switching distance sensors have been designed for medium ranges of up to 10 m. They exhibit a 20 ms response time, 1 mm resolution and 10 mm accuracy.
Robotic bin picking
01 April, 2009 | Supplied by: ABB Australia Pty Ltd
ABB has introduced robotic bin picking technology that can locate and disseminate jumbled and randomly situated materials from bins.
Scalable mobile control system

The Scalable Mobile Control System from Hirschmann Automation and Control can be used for controlling and monitoring machine functions as well as for safe load indicator. The product family includes controls from the iFLEX series and the iSCOUT operating consoles. The modular concept also ensures that each solution can be adapted economically at any time to changed requirements.
Array sensor
01 April, 2009 | Supplied by: SICK Pty Ltd
The Ax20 array sensor has a high-resolution line array that allows objects to be detected with a repeatable accuracy of 50 µm. It is suitable for detecting edges, inspecting material thicknesses, counting parts or determining positions.
PLC data access module
01 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Omron Electronics Pty Ltd
Omron Electronics has released the Data Access Module (DAM01) — a small user interface for its micro PLC range. Fitting neatly into a communication board slot, the DAM01 empowers the user with knowledge of the process the PLC is controlling.
Motor management display
01 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Schneider Electric
The TeSys T display allows the user to configure the parameters of the TeSys T motor management and protection relay and to display the selected operational values.
Linear inductive displacement sensors
01 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Bestech Australia Pty Ltd
The VIP series of linear inductive displacement sensors from Micro-Epsilon uses a measuring ring and integral electronics. There is no mechanical contact between the measuring element (ring) and the sensor rod. The sensor therefore operates without any wear and no maintenance is required.
Colour and gloss sensor
01 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Applied Measurement Australia
The SI-Colo-GD-40 sensor from Sensor Instruments allows both simultaneous and outside-light-independent detection of colour and gloss value. The colour value x,y and the grey value INT are determined by way of the integrated RGB detector.
